That is wonderful :)

The current phrase describing people who care about this stuff appears to be "grammar nazi." The negative connotations for the phrase are clear: this is fanatical geekery and normal people need not care. The above is a beautiful example of just why the textual representation of grammatical niceties is rather more than just the icing on the cake, however!

Back on topic: my mic arrived today. It's an old-fashioned-looking thing I can arrange and angle reasonably easily. It's not studio quality but is a little better than the tiny condenser microphones built into most of the kit most people use. I don't have a studio to work in but a brief experiment "testing, testing, 1,2,3" with a radio playing in the background didn't leave much evidence of background noise in playback. I'm sure I won't achieve perfection but will do my best to be "good enough" :)

Enough already. I still have to finish reading the book. :)

Oblivion, I'm very excited that you've taken on this project. I know you're afraid my confidence in you is premature, but I think you'll prove it was well-placed. I really appreciate the spirit of DonationCoder that this exemplifies: people giving of themselves and their talents in coming together for the benefit of larger projects. I think this is rare in today's age.

Just wanted to pass along sort of a PSA: there are still 46 days left in my Goodreads' Giveaway of two copies of my book. Thought some of you who haven't signed up may want to do so. That way, if you later decide to read (and then, of course, review) my book, you've already got a free copy.

Here's the link:

Yeah, sorry about the USA only for giveaway. It's an affordability thing.
